"Expect some pwnage of nazis over the summer!"

That's the weird thing.

You're telling me that you're on the internet and you don't know what pwnage means???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!
It means to "kick the crap out of something".
So lets fit the sentence together here:
This campaign will be done in the Summer, so expect some pwnage of nazis over the summer.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon, And if there is no room upon the hill, And if your head explodes from dark forbodings too, I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon.

You still don't get it, do you?

Of course we understand what ownage means. It's just flat out strange to say we can expect 'pwnage of nazis'. If you've studied WOII as you claim, you'll understand that it's a stupid thing to say.

Yes, I was refering to this, and not to pwnage itself. However, part of the blame for your answer is mine for not having explained myself more clearly. :P

Ok some things here:
1. I was a little confused at what you were angry or confused about.
2. This campaign ISN'T WW2. This is in Starcraft time. It's someone bringing the idea of Nazism back. Nothing to do with WW2 in general. Just the Nazi aspect of it. Then the good guys come in and fight the Nazis. Do you see where I'm aiming at here?
3. Do you think they teach us anything in school these days? All I learned in my sophomore (high school) Recent US History class is that we beat the Nazis blah blah blah blah. That was pretty much it. I just got the "idea" of this campaign from the war.

Just wanted to let you guys know. And btw, please don't get angry or pissy over little nit-picky details.

Again, you don't get it. I don't care whether or not the nazis win in your campaign. Hell, tons of shooter games use the nazi-enemy concept. But never have I seen one of them advertising with lines like "expect nazi ownage" because that's something you just don't say.
If you go back to the previous page or scroll back (I don't know, too lazy to check) you'll see that I only commented on what you said in that particular post.

Anyway, this has gone on too long. Nobody's angry (just a bit pissed about the apparent confusion). Never mind. Good luck with your campaign.

UPDATE!:

I might have voice acting in this campaign, but this depends on the amount of volunteers I get. I'm already asking around my neighborhood and calling relatives to see if they want to help. So far I only have one person.
So, I'd like to ask if anyone on here, Male and Female, would be willing to volunteer if I send them the script. Right now, I'm focusing on rewriting some of the script, so you may have to wait a little bit.

Anyway, I'm getting further with the scenarios, going through edits and stuff like that. I have another question. Would any of you be interested in secret levels or easter eggs? I was thinking of it due to many games and many other sc campaigns having their own easter eggs and secret levels. Give a response or PM me for both the voice acting question and the secret/easter egg question.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon, And if there is no room upon the hill, And if your head explodes from dark forbodings too, I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon.

For voice actors I'd seriously consider first finishing the campaign. People have seen so many projects go down the drain that want to be voiced before they are done and thus their work goes to waste. :)
